🇺🇸 WE WILL NEVER FORGET – BEIRUT, OCTOBER 23, 1983 🇺🇸

Today marks 43 years since one of the darkest days in United States Marine Corps history.

On October 23, 1983, a terrorist bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, claimed the lives of 241 American service members 220 Marines, 18 Sailors, and 3 Soldiers who were serving on a peacekeeping mission. Another 58 French paratroopers lost their lives in a separate attack that morning.

"They Came in Peace."

Today, we honor their courage, remember their sacrifice, and keep their families, fellow service members, and survivors in our thoughts and prayers.

🇺🇸 Semper Fidelis. Never Forget. 🇺🇸
